Default AC outlet replacement advice needed.

I have a new pair of the upper center AC chrome outlets I would like to use....but....I can't see how the old ones come out of the metal housing. How are they held in there? Or how to remove them?

Later Sharks are different, but early ones like my '72 that wiper sw assy and the vents unbolt from the main bezel, via a single screw to top of the dash, and two others down lo into the main bezel....

then a small bolt into the metal releases the plastic holding them in from backside....
